[ovirt-users] Where to add NFS Data Storage

[Taste-Of-IT]

Hello Joop,

thanks for help. I tried now with fresh installation, but i have to 
enter a first storage domain to the nfs path i created. So the question 
is which path i have to add in engine? Create a new one on host and add 
in engine?

thx
